"In 2009, Mr. Cory told his mother he was tired of taking the bus to school and he wanted to buy his mom a car," his company website explains. "He crafted the idea to sell hot cocoa to raise the funds. Mr. Cory put all his spare time into selling hot cocoa at the Roman Inn in Englewood, NJ, and later in front of his home."

Cory's cocoa business grew quickly -- and within a short span of time, he started selling lemonade and cookies -- and everything was priced at $1 apiece.

These days, Mr. Cory is best-known for his all-natural cookies -- many of which are created from original recipes developed by Cory and his mother through trial-and-error testing using "countless ingredients" and culled from intense research spanning many months.

Five years on? Mr. Cory is crushing it. And not just cookie-wise -- style-wise, too.
